“She even came to my office and pretended she was poor, saying she needed three million dollars to set up her business. Over the years, I’ve given her hundreds of millions of dollars, excluding houses and cars. She claimed to love me, yet she was unwilling to fork out three million dollars. I refused to give it to her, and she ended up asking for it from my mom.”
After that, Chester lifted his head and looked at charity, who was standing at the side. “There are quite many women like Cindy. Eliza, I admit that I said some awful things when I was with you, but that was because you were very similar to the women I’ve been with before. That was why subconsciously, I was disgusted.” ¡®
“Perhaps something is wrong with me as well. Aren’t all of you desperate for money? In that case, I’ll criticize and insult you. I deal with a lot of stress at work everyday, having to perform surgery and manage such a huge company. Besides giving me more pressure, my parents have been grumbling about me and telling me off.
Because of that, I say whatever is on my mind. I don’t hide things. I’m sure all of you have cursed me behind my back, but that’s fine. I don’t care because I’m exhausted and uncomfortable, so nobody should feel happy too.”
At that point, Charity had no idea what to say.
She had never heard Chester speak so much in her past and current lives.
She concluded that Chester’s personality had become extreme probably after he broke up with her.
What was more, he was with women from the entertainment industry the most.
Truth be told, it was easy to make money in the entertainment industry, but the scene was very messy. Regardless of men or women, many people had forgotten to stay true to themselves because of money, reputation, and status.
“But these shouldn’t be the reasons why you forced me upon you.” Charity said coldly, “Since I didn’t like you, you shouldn’t have forced me. Besides, I’m Charity’s friend. Shouldn’t you have a moral baseline? Wait, you don’t even have one.”
“Eliza, I didn’t mean to force you. It did it because you were very resistant to me when I was pursuing you.”
A conflicted look appeared on Chester’s elegant face. “On one hand, this might be a man’s innate evil nature. The more you reject me, the more I want you. On the other hand, I can’t help but think of… Charity when I see you. “
Charity trembled, and for a moment there, her blood felt like it was flowing backward.
“Somehow, your eyes reminded me of Charity the first time I saw you. They really look like hers.” Chester looked into her eyes seriously and inquisitively. “Didn’t you notice that I mostly enjoyed staring at your nose and mouth every time we were in bed?”
Suddenly, Charity felt like her mind was blown into pieces.
She thought Chester hated her face, but it turned out that he took her as charity.
No. She was Charity.
She was, in fact, different from Eliza.
However, one’s eyes were closely linked to the soul, and that was why Chester found their eyes similar.
Charity could feel a sense of bitterness suffocating her.
It seemed like God was playing a joke on her.
Before she died, she had always wondered why Chester hated her so much and would trample all over her like that.
Yet, she died and started living in Eliza’s body, only for Chester to say that it was because her eyes resembled Charity’s.
“Charity is dead. She was already dead when you sent her to jail.”
Charity tried her best to stop her body from trembling and enunciated, “I’m not Charity, so stop pestering me.”
“You’re right. You’re not Charity.” Chester nodded as he stood up and slowly strode toward her. “But I don’t know why I’m here either. I really wanted to kill you when I was in jail, but when you showed up in the meeting room in Jewell Corporation as Reborn, I was quite surprised and excited. Do you understand how a wolf feels when it spots its prey? Eliza, it’s been a long time since I’ve felt this way.”
“I don’t think I’ve ever met a woman like you apart from Charity.” Chester stopped concealing his emotions. “I, too, have no idea why I wanted you so badly.”
Charity was utterly stunned.
She used to think that Chester disliked her.
However, she just found out that she and Chester broke up because they misunderstood each other as a result of Sarah’s plot.
It seemed like Charity and Chester had been in a vicious cycle for many years.
If she had not died, she would regret it and find it a pity. She would even blame it on fate.
However, her feelings for Chester had been overwhelmed by hatred for many years.
He was the reason Charity was resistant toward relationships and even resented them.
What Chester said tonight had finally cleared the air, but that was all.
“Eliza, putting aside the issues earlier, I think we’re quite a good match…”
Chester’s mesmerizing voice and presence slowly drew closer to her.
Nevertheless, as he got closer to her, all he saw was Charity’s indifferent eyes.
His body froze, and somehow, he felt frustrated. “At least show me some respect. After all, I’m quite good-looking, and I have a good voice and physique-“
“It’s late. If you insist on staying here, you can sleep in the guest room. I’m worn out tonight.”
With that, Charity turned around and headed upstairs. Dressed in her pajamas, her silhouette looked frail and slim.
Her fragrance lingered in the air.
Looking at her figure, Chester was not sexually aroused at all, which was rare.
At that moment, he was calm for some reason.
Perhaps he had finally voiced the feelings he had been burying deep in his heart, so he was less stressed now.
Even so, he never thought that Eliza would one day become the woman who understood him the most.
That kind of feeling was not too bad either.
Chester took a glimpse of the red wine on the rack, took out a bottle, and opened it. Only after drinking half the bottle did he take a bath.
The bathroom on the first floor did not have any men’s toiletries. There was only a pink towel hung on the towel rack.
Chester’s thin lips curled into a smile.
It looked like Max had not spent the night here before.
After taking a bath, Chester took the towel and dried himself with it. He even caught a waft of faint refreshing scent and instantly knew that Eliza had used it before.
By the time he was done washing up, it was almost 3:00 a.m.
He lay in the unfamiliar bedroom, and despite his exhaustion, he did not feel like sleeping.
Charity, who was upstairs, did not feel like sleeping as well.
What Chester said about the graduation party, Larry, and Sarah kept echoing in her head.
What would have happened if Sarah had not meddled in their relationship?
What would have happened to Chester and her?
There seemed to be no answers to the questions.
Sometimes, she could not figure out why she had to cross paths with Sarah, the insane woman.
Sarah was the reason the Neeson family had lost three lives.
Charity could not sleep the entire night.
When she eventually fell asleep, she was half-awake and very uncomfortable.
About 7 a.m. in the morning, she woke up to prepare breakfast.
As for Chester, he was woken up by the chirps of the birds outside the window.
After that, he put on a pair of trousers and walked out.
In the kitchen, Charity was in an apron, making pancakes. She bought the pancakes from the supermarket. All she had to do was heat it up, add some syrup, butter, and berries, and the pancakes would be delicious.
